Visa and ADI Foundation Explore Blockchain Infrastructure for Global Payments
Visa and ADI Foundation are exploring how blockchain infrastructure could work alongside established payment networks under a new collaboration focused on payment solutions, technical infrastructure and digital finance ecosystem development.
The cooperation brings together Visa's global payments network and money movement expertise with ADI Foundation's experience in distributed ledger infrastructure. According to an official statement shared with 36crypto, The organizations will assess opportunities to improve efficiency and interoperability between blockchain-based infrastructure and existing electronic payment systems.
Visa and ADI Focus on Payment Interoperability
The collaboration will examine mechanisms designed to support faster and more efficient payment flows, including potential technical infrastructure for transactions involving digital assets.
Visa and ADI will also explore initiatives aimed at supporting innovation across the digital finance and payments ecosystem. Their work will focus on how blockchain infrastructure and established electronic payment networks can complement each other rather than operate as separate systems.
ADI Foundation's involvement follows its strategy of helping public and private institutions engage with blockchain infrastructure while accounting for operational requirements, policy considerations and compatibility with existing financial systems.
Vira Platonova, Visa's senior vice president and global head of money movement, said, “The way money moves is evolving rapidly.” She pointed to the growing importance of trusted networks and interoperability as financial institutions examine new forms of value exchange.
Platonova said the collaboration with ADI gives Visa an opportunity to examine potential applications across businesses, consumers and the wider payments ecosystem. She described combining the two organizations' expertise as a way to contribute to innovation in digital payments and emerging technologies.
ADI Emphasizes Compatibility With Existing Financial Systems
Svyatoslav Senyuta, ADI Foundation's chief business officer, said blockchain infrastructure needs to work with institutions already responsible for moving money globally.
“Infrastructure that works with the institutions that already move money at global scale” is a key requirement, Senyuta said, adding that “ADI was built with that requirement in mind.”
Senyuta said the Visa collaboration will provide an opportunity to examine how blockchain infrastructure and electronic payment networks can complement one another. The organizations will assess practical opportunities spanning payment solutions, technical infrastructure and the broader digital finance ecosystem.
The cooperation reflects ADI's approach of developing blockchain infrastructure intended to work within established financial systems and alongside the operational and policy requirements of their users.
Visa and ADI Foundation will continue exploring opportunities across the three areas outlined in the collaboration, with the stated focus on payment innovation, efficiency and interoperability.
